The wind chill and air filled with snow where you have a job to breath is enough.. 

It was bad enough at top of Dronfield I had to turn back. Must be 25cm easy there now and that was 2 hours ago it was whipping up and it was difficult to see dread to think how bad it is your way.

Many 4x4 enthusiasts and some locals farmers trying to help out on the main roads and will be through the night I would expect here. Lots of cars will be abandoned come morning.

Woke up earlier. Mini blizzard occurring from this shower which has become almost stationary as the front pivots.

This image from the V4 shows a broad shot of the current situation, showing low level sheer 

Look where the strongest echoes are

 and the reason I've put another pot of coffee on

edit; plus the MET forecast for Brum @ 3.00 is heavy snow

Still moderately heavy rain here

So many people unprepared I had to help a van out that had got stuck in Sheffield I had a bag of grit and snow shovel and managed to get him out that was my good deed for the day. 

If I had a 4x4 I would help anyone in need.

Some snow photos from this morning and although it rained this afternoon with a thaw underway, a fair bit of snow has survived.  Hoping for more later and not far from the amber warning!! 

 

@Don I was  wondering where you were, I was worried you had gone somewhere and missed a very rare occurence! Treasure the memory and keep the pictures somewhere. It doesn't happen very often!

I can confirm the snizzle is no more.... it's snowing 

[Sparkiee storm]

Snow here now as well, very wet but its turned so that's a good sign for when the main front comes back to us, looks like we are in for another good dumping . You know you are a hardcore coldie when your up late for the snow 

[Arnie Pie]

Yep here to Arnie, howling blizzards it's unbelievable. I can't go to bed and miss this. Kettle will be going on again! The poor folk that are stuck out it it localy though.. Must be awful. Went for a walk up the lane for a few minutes earlyier was enough and I was shaking to the bone..

Same, went for a midnight stroll earlier, felt like i could snap my ears off, major wind chill, will only get colder now the winds are picking up more. Might look blizzard like even down here at times.

[Polar Maritime]

Just now.. last cup of tea then I'm off to the land of nod .

[Barbmac]

Also awake at unsociable hours. Was raining here for ages (still some slushy snow remaining here and there) but has stopped now and am hoping we will get more snow again. Forecast shows we should get some snow again between 4-10 a.m. Fingers crossed!

Hoping not too many are stranded in the bad conditions further north of here.

[Battleground Snow]

Heavy snow in Coventry, not sticking yet, but should do soon, wind getting up.

It should last until 830 ish here before fading away 

[Dancerwithwings]

Snowing and totally covered everywhere

easily a couple of cm’s already

[Midlands Ice Age]

Wow

Seems like we almost have a full house of Midlanders..

Got up for a cup of tea after being kept awake by the ice rattling on the window sill till 3:00, then quiet.

Got up to look and yes it had changed to snow.

Couldn't sleep so here I am also.

As DWW says covering very well and blowing at the same time.

Already about 2cms. Temperature at +0.2C and my dp is at -1,1C with 90% humidity.

Looks like a few hours to come, but some dry spells north of here.

Hope people are safe further North, no on can say there was not a good warning.

Can confirm it's snowing again on the Malvern Hills! 

[phil nw.]

Got up for the bathroom to see it's snowing heavily and already covered everything.
